Danal, Ryan, Shevon dazzle in traditional matches-by Reemus Fernando

Source:Island

A five wicket haul by left-arm paceman Danal Hemananda, centuries by Ryan Fernando and Shevon Daniel for their respective schools were the highlights of the traditional Inter School Under-19 matches played on Friday.

In a rather rare feat for a paceman these days Hemananda bagged seven wickets including a five wicket haul in the first innings as St. Peter’s forced Trinity to follow on in their match at Bambalapitiya. In reply to Petes’ 277 for nine wickets declared, the visitors were dismissed for 169 runs. Trinity managed to avoid defeat thanks to back to back half centuries by Umair Raizan and a vital knock of 53 runs by Abhishek Anandakumara.

At Mount Lavinia, Ryan Fernando stroked 127 runs inclusive of 13 fours and two sixes for S. Thomas’ to dominate the match against Ananda.

Shevon Daniel scored an unbeaten 134 runs and put on a second wicket stand of 186 runs with Sheran Fonseka to help St. Joseph’s reach 223 for two wickets at stumps on day one against Wesley at Campbell Park.

At Moratuwa, St. Sebastian’s scored at snail’s pace to post 166 runs before being bowled out against Richmond.

Meanwhile, St. Sylvester’s, Kandy and St. Aloysius’, Galle registered victories in the Division I Limited Overs tournament Tier ‘B’ matches.
